Appearance: Izanami Shadowscale is a voluptuous young dragonkin woman with long legs, wide hips, and a large bust. She has shimmering, violet colored eyes and a flowing mane of turquoise hair she wears long enough to trail down to her knees. Izanami has lilac skin that is almost ashen grey on first glance. However, these features are overshadowed by the more monstrous nature of her ancestry, and the draconic gifts she has inherited from her infernal bloodline. Given the sexual dimorphism of their kind, her physique is largely still humanoid at a glance, with her draconic features augmenting her appearance in fearsome ways.

Izanami's lineage dates back to an ancient black dragon, an awesome and terrible leviathan from a bygone era. Its bloodline courses through her veins and has granted her a number of draconic features. First and foremost, she has two sets of crimson horns protruding from her upper skull. A smaller main set above and a larger primary pair below. Secondly, and perhaps her most notable feature, is a great mantle of spikes that juts from the dragonkin woman's upper back. They are both wide and tall, making her figure over twice as broad as her slender shoulders would imply. Izanami's mantle is composed of dense armored spines and bone, reddening at its tips from copper and iron build up. Wreathed in blades of bone and held together by dense muscular membranes, this mantle serves as both a natural armor and a deadly impromptu weapon.

With crimson talons for nails, and bony ridges along her arms the woman has an unmistakably armored, sinister appearance. Last, though hardly least of the woman's bizarre features are an enormous set of twin tails that grow from her lower back. Long as Izanami is tall, and thicker around than her waist, the woman's twin tails are covered in a hard, chitinous carapace. Their length is covered in barbs and spines of piercing bone, with magma like muscle throbbing beneath the exposed seams in her chitin. They serve as her primary offensive weapon, constricting foes in their grasp, skewering them on her spines, or bludgeoning them beneath their armored mass.

Personality: Izanami Shadowscale's personality is in and of itself as draconic in her features. Like the dragons of legend, she is incredibly vain, proud, and haughty. The woman can be exceedingly self centered and cynical, and is frequently either icy cold with others or driven into a fiery rage when angered. Temperamental to a fault, she tends to struggle with her emotions and finds it easier to bury them rather than risk having another outburst. This often makes her seem stone faced to those around her, a trait she has inherited from her own grim father. She is quick to judge, and quicker to punish. Her judgments themselves considered very harsh, but often fair.

Despite this, Izanami is an extremely caring individual. She laments the plight of the downtrodden and forgotten, even in spite of her own avaricious nature. Capricious as can be, her mood shifts as often as a dancing flame and she is quick to hold a grudge. Despite this, the woman is very motherly and affectionate to those younger than herself when she wants to be, often forgetting personal space in the process. One known to frequently hug, Izanami often displays a more flirtatious side with men she is interested in or in an attempt to coerce others into giving her things she desires... such as free food, lavish gifts, or compliments on her figure.

A notable glutton, and a self proclaimed carnivore, Izanami has a voracious appetite that stems from her draconic bloodline. She holds a distinct love for chocolate, red meat, and anything grilled or roasted. Despite this Izanami is a mediocre cook herself, and would much rather pay for others to serve her than hunt and make her own meals. In a similar vein, she has little patience for menial labor and idle tasks. Izanami loathes tedium, and would prefer will her days with leisure over exertion if gold were not an issue. A big fan of naps, falling asleep in pools of magma, and hand sculpting with molten metal. Izanami is inquisitive and well read, eager to learn and experience new things. She covets knowledge, almost as much as she covets treasure.

History: Eldest daughter of Orochi 'The Ebonflame' of the Shadowscale clan, Izanami's lineage claim descendance from the black dragon Yamata Akantor, a great wyrm who claimed dominion over much of the Dragon's Cradle in times long past. Descendent from his mortal sires, Izanami's draconic blood is strong in her veins, manifesting itself in her ashen skin and numerous draconic features. From a young age her father knew she would prove to be a formidable warrior, training her in might and magic from nearly the day she could walk. As the eldest of her several siblings, Izanami was both protector and bully to her younger kin. Her dragonkin clan holds the bonds of blood more sacred than most, and sees all of dragonkind as a distant family forged from their shared lineage to the dragons of yore.

Trained in arms and armor of all manner, Izanami came to prefer her natural weapons and innate magic to any blade or bow. Her talons and spines are her weapons, her chitin and scales her armor, and her deadly magics form a deadly arsenal. She has studied with the smiths of Dark Mages of Darkveil, honing her natural magics into a deadly craft. Like many of her clan, she has found her true calling as an Adventurer. A sellsword, a wandering mage, and many more depending on who is asking. The world of Charon is rife with strife, littered with ancient tombs and uncharted ruins ripe and ready for plunder. Izanami intends to see the whole of the world, and loot all that there is of value from it.

Her travels though always find a way back to Darkveil, the city of stone is her clan's ancestral home, and like her kinsmen she is compelled by draconic instinct to hoard her treasures. Adding her growing pile of gold and gems to the clan's vast treasury deep in the bowels of their rocky manor. Always eager for her next adventure, ready to claim her riches. Beyond that though Izanami seeks of the past, artifacts and relics of dragonkind. To better understand her ancestors and their terrible power. Both out of curiosity, and a desire to enhance her own draconic strength. Regardless, there is no quest too dangerous, no beast she will not slay, and no land too uncharted for Izanami Shadowscale. So long as there is gold and glory sufficient to sate her avaricious nature and stoke the flames of her pride.
